at eve's annual fanfest a certain clan/guild leader happened to encourage cyber bullying.. he went so far to even name someone who was (or so he claimed) was socially unstable and that he should be bullied into suicide. CCp has launched a full investigatyion. it doesnt help that this clan is well known for having scammers, trolls and a variety of other scum and villany in its ranks.

as of this morning the guild leader had made an open apology.. but i feel that this punk should lose his guild/clan for this.. not like they were being very productive anyway by the sounds of things noted above:

No actually its Alexanders decision. A decision he claimed he had made, it was a good decision. Sadly his ego seems to have taken over again and the humility of his apology is exposed as weasling to keep his position.

You are quick to mock and pointed with your views, but lack the humility and compassion that is needed to add substance to your intellect. The lack of compassion expressed by the Mittani toward an individual suffering illness was his major folly - like many in this and other threads you express the same underlying folly.

Here's that terrible forum post.

Truly, the blogospheres are buzzing and twitting about this massive online scandal.

I dont deny its a terrible forum post on gamespot amongst the other 24000 hits that search will bring you. However it comes to somthing when WoW are laughing at our playerbase not the other way around. Thats what the chairman of the CSM has done, exposed us to ridicule by WoW. It will get worse if he now fails to do what he claimed he would and resign.

Alexander do the right thing resign and get some credibility back

Way to both move those goalposts and not have any idea how google generates search results!

Your argument has literally devolved into "The Mittani should resign because there's a thread on the WoW forums about us."

Ahahahaha, you think that wow players don't already laugh at spergy space ship nerds, as much as we laugh at generic elves in slutmail?

Your bashing and constant calling for his hanging is also considered socalled cyber-bullying.

In quite possibly the most hilarious piece of puffery in this thread, Broneck Squad wants to talk about credibility.

No matter what happens, you do know you're not going to be Chairman, right, Darius? NDA breaches are still serious business, even if you got away with it the last time.

No no you misunderstand me sir. The fact that WoW are laughing at us simply makes the situation worse. HOwever I think he should resign because what was said was utterly stupid, offensive, potentially dangerous and simply way past the line. The fact that the gaming press and blogospheres as you cutely put it are buzzing is obviously an issue that heightens the odious comment made at fanfest into the larger gaming community. Alexander wanted a high profile and did just about everything he could to get himself into the gaming press. That profile means his actions have repurcussions. Im pretty sure there were many drunken offensive comments made at fanfest. The difference is the profile of the offender guves it more publicity. He has done some really good things for Eve and Im happy to say that but if he tries to continue in his role on the CSM, then he, the CSM and the playerbase will suffer. He will become a lame duck chairman with no credibility. Are the gaming press going to give him a platform to air his views on Eve when gaming forums are touting him as a cyberbully? nope they arent. Sometimes you have to take you medicine no matter how foul it tastes to get better. If he wants to retain his credibility and at some point regain the profile he has worked so hard to cultivate then he should resign. Then we can all move on.

I doubt the apology is sincere. I doubt if he would have written it without such an outcry. I suspect his immediate response of, "deal with it" was more in line with his true intentions.

(shrug) It may impact how we are perceived by the rest of the gaming world, but there isn't anything we can do about it now. The barn doors are open and the horse is gone. Besides, in six months he's going to be joking and bragging about how he got away with telling his alliance to kill the guy.

I do hope CCP bans him. Not for what he did....

....but what an emboldened mittani is going to do next.

lols are you accusing me of being Darius? thats uber funny. I have no political axe to grind nor do I personally have any issue with the goons. Im happy to acknowledge the good stuff done in the CSM by all the delegates last year.

As for hilarious puffery you clearly havent read the OP in that you get puffery and pomposity wrapped up in fake humility, its much more amusing than mine.

My, my, what a threadnaught this turned out to be. You guys are really this upset about a game? Even a metagame at that, you should all know when to log out and go outside for a bit. I hear that the US is thawing out now, bloody seasonal changes and all.

Its about someone taking the game into real life with real life consequences.

Basically what the Mittani did at fanfest.

Let me rephrase his post for you.

Christ.......like a bunch of old WashWomen here, give it a break. The guy apologized whether you believe it or not dosen't matter, its in CCP's hands now. Faster we bury this the better it is for the game & community.

Yet the people we vote to represent us are and must be held to a higher standard than the rest of society as they are there to make decisions that can affect our lives for a long time to come, whether that is real world or game lives. they should also know to control themselves in public situation.

However when they do make a mistake an appology should be given and they should show they have learnt form it. This shows some level of strength of character. If however they repeat it again and agina then they need to step down.

I guess if ccp ban him for "calling for the harassment of a player until he kills himself if that is what you want to do" some will be happy, if they do not ban him then ccp is telling everyone it is OK to ask others to help you harass someone until they kill them self . seems simple to me
